F1 Academy has unveiled a seven-round calendar for its 2027 season, with the championship set to visit again three continents and make its debut at the Hungaroring as it enters its fifth year.
The 2027 campaign will once again run in support of the FIA F1 World Championship, with the season beginning in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 19-21 March. The series will then travel to Shanghai for the second round, scheduled for 16-18 April, before returning to Montreal from 21-23 May for another visit to the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
Europe will host the next two rounds of the season, with F1 Academy returning to Silverstone from 2-4 July before heading to Hungary for the first time. The Hungaroring will join the calendar for the fifth round, taking place from 30 July to 1 August, marking a new venue for the championship, replacing Zandvoort.
The final two rounds will again take place in the United States. Circuit of The Americas in Austin will host the penultimate event from 22-24 October, before the season concludes under the lights of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit from 18-20 November, hosting the season finale for the third time.
The calendar maintains a seven-round structure while retaining several established venues from previous seasons, including Jeddah, Shanghai, Montreal, Silverstone, Austin and Las Vegas. The addition of the Hungaroring brings a new challenge for the drivers and teams, on a permanent racetrack which will be potentially useful for drivers stepping up in European feeder series.
Susie Wolff, Managing Director of F1 Academy, said the series was building on the progress made since its inaugural season in 2023. “It’s hard to believe we’re already heading into our fifth season of F1 Academy. What we’ve collectively achieved in such a short space of time is something we can all be proud of, and I’m equally excited about what lies ahead,” Wolff said.
“With our 2027 calendar, we’re continuing to build consistency in where we race, which is important for our drivers, teams and fans. I’m hugely grateful to our promoters for their continued support and belief in what we’re building.
“Every season we’re seeing more fans, more young girls inspired to get involved in motorsport and more opportunities for female talent. The level of competition continues to rise year on year, and we’ve seen some incredible racing as a result. I’m excited to see that level pushed even higher in 2027.”
